/* lstat works differently on Linux and Solaris systems. POSIX (see
`pathname resolution' in the glossary) requires that programs like `ls'
take into consideration the fact that FILE has a trailing slash when
FILE is a symbolic link. On Linux systems, the lstat function already
has the desired semantics (in treating `lstat("symlink/",sbuf)' just like
`lstat("symlink/.",sbuf)', but on Solaris it does not.
If FILE has a trailing slash and specifies a symbolic link,
then append a `.' to FILE and call lstat a second time. */
